I will keep this thread stickied so long as the discussion remains on-topic and informative. If the thread starts to stray or we start getting a lot of single-sentence garbage posts I will close the thread down and wait until mid-way through the college football season to re-open it.

This thread dates back to 101's days and I want to make sure it remains a good reference point for information regarding prospects and their potential fit for the Broncos. If discussion gets away from that elliot and I will lock it up._________________big_palooka:

Not sure if anyone remembers, but before the 2010 draft I watched a ton of games to get a look at DaQuan Bowers, and Ellington (as a Sophomore) was the best player I saw. Great vision, fluid (like Arian Foster) and boy can he accelerate.

I have a hard time figuring this guy out. All I read about him is great, and the knock is his size, which from what I have read is quite a big concern. I have very few chances to see college ball, and I have never had the chance to see Mathieu in a game. Is he as great a player as he is made out to be? Or will his lack of size be too much of a hinderance?

This was not a question for you specifically, bobdevine. I just see he has already been mentioned a couple of times here already.

Ill jump in and give it a whirl.

Tyrann Mathieu (The Honey Badger) is an incredible talent. A 3-star coming out of high school, his biggest knock on him was exactly what critics cling too, his size. Hes absolutely a little guy but that doesnt stop him from playing like a monster.

IMO hes going to be the new breed of nickel-CB. Hes got the athletic ability and instincts of a Troy Polamalu but the size of a Rahim Moore. He has the speed to cover the slot, blitz from just about everywhere, and can even help in PR.

I wouldnt even hesitate for a 2nd that he'll be a good pro._________________
